Note that you'll need to use FLMM only if this is the first time you are installing Discovery. If you update, unzip Discovery.zip into your Freelancer folder and rewrite required files.

Okay, this might seem like a really stupid question but um what does this mod do exactly? I've played freelancer periodically so I'm curious.

Okay... a quote from mod readme file:

Discovery is an attempt to make a mod that will not spoil the Freelancer universe with unneeded or illogical changes, but rather retain the atmosphere and balance of original game and add several nice features to make gameplay more interesting - capital ship encounters, enhanced NPC AI, almost all original Freelancer ships flyable (capships, transports, etc.), rebalanced ship prices and more.

if the primary link doesn't work for you (it happens sometimes, though I don't know why).

Info about Discovery server was published on www.lancersreactor.com today. LancersReactor is the leading site about Freelancer servers and mods, so this should bring new visitors to our forum (and players to Discovery FL server, of course).

Thanks for noting.

Small, but significant mod update available (30 Kb). Fixes several bugs and changes freighter stats, so be sure to have this one. If you don't, get ready for crashes and loss of data.

Install by unzipping to Freelancer folder and rewriting files. NO FLMM if you already have earlier version of Discovery installed.

Complete mod version also updated.

Starting sum increased to 12000 due to numerous requests from players. This allows to buy Patriot after one mission if you are choosing the military way, or makes purchase of Rhino easier if you choose trading. I'm not quite intended to increase the starting money anymore, you must earn your freighter.

P.S. However this will cause abuse again I guess, so in the next version price of Starflier will be increased significantly and starting money will be back to normal.

Good, cause i think i almost started exactly as you changed it because i started with 2500 credits and about 1 min later my brother started with 12000. THAT was very annoying! :(
